The largely peaceful protests during the "No Kings Day" demonstration in downtown Los Angeles took an intense turn in the afternoon. Police ordered the crowd to disperse at about 4:15 p.m. PDT near Alameda Street and Temple Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Central Division.

Thousands of people protested on June 15 in cities across the country against President Donald Trump’s policies.

Despite peaceful demonstrations reported in multiple cities, violence flared at some anti-Trump protests over the weekend.
